abstract kite Apr 8, 2020, 3:03 PM

they had limited production because companies started producing more RAM for the phones, so the prices for RAM went through the roof

or something along those lines

brisk badger Apr 8, 2020, 5:40 PM

in 2016-2017 companies like Samsung, Hynix, micron and others have engaged in fix DRAM prices causing the prices to skyrocket. A class action lawsuit was launched against the companies. We are speaking DRAM prices being tripled in that time

fleet canopy Apr 8, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

Yeah that's what I meant

#

Plus I don't exactly see a benefit to Bitcoin

#

Because internet currency is something that can easily be the most unstable thing

brisk badger Apr 8, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

sadly bitcoins and others are primary used for speculation so they whole market remains very volatile even almost 10 years after. But there is also good and practical use cases, for example ripple which banks often use internally to send money to each other in seconds instead of traditional wiring

sick reef Apr 8, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

Bitcoin has the benefit of being an alternative to regular currency, but it's very similar to a stock, rather than a currency, but it also points to the faults of when the regular currency isn't bound to physical value. It becomes very fluid in itself, only less volatile than Bitcoin. The value of money not direct. It is only when it is applied in service or wares that it estimates a value of the trade.
In turn, it is equal to anything that anyone finds has the same value, like soft currency in that sense. It's a trade of value, rather than currency, practically.

eternal cairn Apr 8, 2020, 7:12 PM

Okay, considering the majority of the general market uses CPUs and GPUs, the Xbox and PS4 are still less like PCs.

Turning of Anti Aliasing always helps, as well as lowering the resolution.

For big performance gains

Then tweaking the settings themselves will probably also help.

Hi everyone, so one of my friend is interested in getting the game but their computer is... Quite bad.
What is the most potato config you managed to make the game run somewhat smoothly on? My friend has a AMD 3500U 2,1GHZ 4 cores and 8GB ram processor with integrated Amd vega 8, 2GB graphics card (which clearly will be the bottleneck here)

#

I can't imagine getting that to run smoothly tbh

#

just to be completely honest

#

Yeah, that's what I told my friend

#

I can't imagine them having more than 20fps on everything turned down and on the lowest possible resolution

#

maybe like 480 p

#

Maybe, but probably not for long before everything starts overheating

#

Still, if anyone managed to '' run'' the game on a potato computer I'd love to read how low it can go

Wack

brisk badger Apr 9, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

probably a factor is also the RAM that the vega 8 will be using since it most likely will take System RAM. I dunno if it has dedicated vram, too lazy

abstract kite Apr 9, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

nope

#

it uses system ram apparently

#

wack

brisk badger Apr 9, 2020, 12:37 PM

then probably the ram speed is very important for the gpu performance

brisk badger Apr 9, 2020, 12:44 PM

abstract kite Apr 9, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Yeah, we'll try with my friend today, it should "work"

#

it has a decent CPU speed

#

but I already warned them, it's gonna be a very ugly, low res, powerpoint slideshow

#

vapid crypt Apr 9, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

I don't think its that bad, I'm pretty sure the Vega APUs on desktop are only slightly behind say the 1050. I heard the new ones on Laptop now are exponentially faster despite having less CUs, the node shrink improved performance a lot surprisingly. So the next line up of APUs on desktop will be a lot faster.

Oh and if we're referring to performance on GTFO, yeah that's likely gonna be rough. But for perspective before my buddy upgraded back when the Alpha of the game was active, he was running a Skylake i3 and an R9 270X. On low settings he was getting roughly 30fps, likely being held back quite a bit by the dual core. The 270X is roughly similar to the 1050, it also has 2gb of Vram

#

APU mileage may vary considering we're talking about two processes in a compact design, that generates more heat than usual. You need to have fairly speedy RAM since it pulls from system RAM, and you need to allocate 2gb in the Bios to get the most out of it.

The thing is the resolution I imagine won't be 1080 imo

fleet canopy Apr 9, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Probably not

#

But 1080p is very easy to run overall

abstract kite Apr 9, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Correct, but in a laptop thermal throttling and power limit throttling are more of an issue

for example, I have a 2,500 laptop with a 6 core 12 thread cpu and a 1060m with 16 gb of RAM, and my game still dips below 60 fps occasionally

Okay so, we tried

it's definitely mediocre

AMD 3500U 2,1GHZ 4 cores and 8GB ram processor with integrated Amd vega 8, 2GB graphics card (which clearly will be the bottleneck here)

brisk badger Apr 9, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

maybe you can squeeze out some more FPS by changing the RAM (depending on how fast the current RAM is). It's also probably not worth to spend the money on that

fleet canopy Apr 9, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Replacing the RAM on a laptop, hm

#

Never really heard a single whisper of changing parts on a laptop

abstract kite Apr 9, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

It is not worth it

#

at best people replace thermal paste, but past that its kinda pointless

brisk badger Apr 10, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

i mean most laptops will allow to easily change rams and hdd's. I am not saying upgrading the ram will help but it can if the GPU can only use system ram

vapid crypt Apr 10, 2020, 12:25 AM

I'm guessing its a cheaper laptop, so I doubt they got the best RAM you know

i am not programmer and not used ue4 but I guess even with garbage collection leaks can occur. Well not that your project has this, just that I seen especially games that suffer from this even with garbage collection

#

that said game had a very nice "hotfix" they made the app 64bit so it wouldn't crash anymore when reaching 2gb but the problem still persists lol

#

the game now uses around 3-4gb~ ram, after an hour or two. Thanks to x64 it doesn't crash anymore but no fix regarding leaks

not to mention that msi will test their gpu's they send back

hidden otter Apr 10, 2020, 4:54 PM

First wait 30 minutes before removing the video card, then remove it, clean the socket carefully and blow compressed air, then carefully put the new one (until it fits) and then remove the battery and put it back 1 minute later

#

it's also recommended to remove the driver evne if the cards are identical

hidden otter Apr 10, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

Yes, i boot all the disk and install the drivers

#

And the old video card (the one that was 5 years old) was a bit bent but the new one that they gave me was flawless and nothing, does it do what I told you, maybe it is a problem with the socket of the motherboard?

brisk badger Apr 10, 2020, 4:58 PM

with the new card, you get any signal?

hidden otter Apr 10, 2020, 4:58 PM

first, it loaded to the windows screen, and then it shut down and never do it again (it start but it dont show any signal)

#

i bought an HDMI-VGA adapter but it didn't work either

brisk badger Apr 10, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

does it show the bios (if the bios shown previously)

#

did you try to safe boot windows?

hidden otter Apr 10, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

just show it the first time and then it never showed again dont matter how much times i restart the pc

brisk badger Apr 10, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

I do not think the hardware is damaged at all. It's either a software issue or unstable voltage

#

but you say the same thing happens on another machine. So I am not sure but I also don't know the setup of both machines

#

that msi sends you back a GPU that has the exact same problem is unlikely but I guess could happen. I assume they do extensive testing of goods they provide as warranty

#

and last but not least your story of how old the GPU is, how you still have warranty and the model of the GPU does not add up

Yeah lmao

#

That's just it

#

Nothing special, still crappy 14nm

They don't want it smaller LULW

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:37 AM

best thing is that rocket lake that comes after these will be 14nm too

They're being pure Shintel at this point

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:40 AM

We can expect some competition 2022 vs AMD's 5nm+

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:40 AM

Competition

#

Hah

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:40 AM

I mean they should really not sleep any longer than that

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:40 AM

If they ever do 10-12nm

upper palm Apr 11, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Sorry, about my late reply, it says 225W - with 460W power supply is what it says.

#

I'm not a tech guy, so I have no clue D:

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

On the PSU part in the PC

#

Or is there some way to check it on software

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

If they steer away from monolithic dies in the future they might lose their praised gaming perf. and once they go under 14nm -> clockspeeds will go down.

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

Sometimes some things need to be sacrificed

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:43 AM

So they better have something real special cooked up in the labs

#

Because they are even loosing on mobile now lol

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with D1 turning their pcs off? o:

Might be you, cause 460W ain't lookin good

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

Is D1 so scary that it just turns your PC off

upper palm Apr 11, 2020, 11:47 AM

would I need a higher supply?

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

More likely yeah

jade ermine Apr 11, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

Doubt its some sort of known issue within the game

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:48 AM

Probably?

Seems like it's not too bad for a 460W PSU with those parts

upper palm Apr 11, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

What? You thought Server Chips were cheap? phaWesker

#

Nevermind Intel's 28 core Xeons being 5k

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

it's interesting: In the long-term, x86-64 CPU's will fade away from the server section. More and more ARM's chips are used, or ASICs. I wonder when the time will be

#

and yea the prices are "normal" for the server chips. I think back some time they were even CPU's sold for more than 10k

vapid crypt Apr 11, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

I think AMD might be going for RISC-V down the line

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Well hey, it's got free shipping! That's a nice bonus!

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

it would be nice if RISC establishes but I have my doubt

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Got a question:
Would like to do some overclocking tomorrow on the CPU and I am going to disable one core (I don't need 4 active cores, 3 are fine for what that box is doing). My question now is: Is there a way to tell the BIOS exactly which core should be disabled? I would like to find out which of the 4 cores is the weakest and disable that. But in the Bios I can only do: Disable one core, disable two cores etc. I also don't understand if the BIOS will select one core at random to be disabled at boot.

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

You could do uneven overclocking, and see which cores fails most easily. Unsure if you can choose which core to be disabled or if it takes the highest number one.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

what is uneven overclocking? maybe my cpu doesn't support it; it's an 7700k

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

I have the option for mine to have 6 or 8 different clocks on my cores.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

so every core runs a different speed?

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

They could.

#

Or in groups which are divisable by 6 or 8 depending

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

oh that's interesting but i don't have this feature. What I could do is to tell, when 4 cores in usage use this frequency, when only 3 are used use that frequency etc.

#

but I have no overview then of what cores are used or at least I don't find any documentation about

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

Wouldn't prime95 assign the same worker to the same core per every test?

#

High voltage, then try and push high frequences specifically to see which one gives out first when you've reached the performance roof.

#

Don't quote me on that I guess. I'm unsure too.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

oh it's already overclocked to the max and working. I just don't need 4 cores but 3 and I thought I could squeeze more MHz out if I can find the weakest core

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Yeah, exactly.

#

Hence, the test. You try and push it further and further, and see which one gives out first, and most frequently.

#

Above your current OC.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

i don't know to debug what core exactly stopped working

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

That is under the assumption that Prime95 assign the same worker to the same core.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

and if only prime95 crashes and no BSOD

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

A worker can die without your computer killing itself.

#

Or well, fail.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

yes but usually if oc is too high the whole machine says good bye :p

#

havn't used prime95 for years tbh so I vaguely remember

#

it's just stupid whoever designed the bios. to allow to disable cores but not allow to disable specific cores. Because I am certain that it doesn't deactivate the same core to prolong the cpu's lifespan

#

okay it's also weird to disable cores, but that machine is doing only one thing. running a single threaded application

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

But all this depends on that you actually get to choose as well, and I don't think you do.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

I try tomorrow to play a bit with it

#

another question:
AMD rx 580 (4gb) or the AMD Fury X GPU for a PC

I have both cards here but dunno which to use. Focus would be energy efficiency (where the rx580 wins) and as high as possible FPS

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Probably 580.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

I kinda can't say to the AMD fury X. It kinda broke my heart. What unloved GPU by papa AMD

#

*can't say goodbye

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

You can use it as a bookstand.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

no because it has a AIO XD

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

That's what I did with my dead Titan Black.

#

Ah, fug

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

well I can disassemble it probably

#

why is your titan black dead?

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Or you put it in the forever pile and use it as a spare.

#

I believe the graphics chip died. It started wiping windows from the computer it was on.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

there is already 6x amd 7970 waiting to do something xD

#

if you havn't tried already. Try a vBIOS flash. It very often helps. Of course not if the hardware is damaged

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

I'm unsure if I could do that if I can't boot safely with it connected to something.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

no need to boot into windows

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Do think it just died of natural causes, really.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

well you could flash from within windows

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

At all, though.

#

It locked up in bios as well.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

Unless some capacitor etc. broke, I doubt, especially with High End GPUs

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I don't have hardware to run it enough to flash the bios on it, at least yet.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

maybe a local repair shop could take a look. Well if it's worth the money

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

And it's very likely hardware damage, or so I would presume.

#

And if that in turn is the graphical chip, it's dead regardless.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

you can also send the GPU to a random guy on the iwebs (me) and I can take a look :P. I used to repair hardware for some reason till I got upset.

#

if you are interested in ressurcting, take a good camera, make photos of it and we will see :p

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

I could, but then I'd have to remove the shroud, and cooling plate.. I could do that I guess, at least to take picture.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

true. or sell it. THere is people (like me) who buy defect hardware

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

It's a great thematical bookstop.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

my iphone 6 that I use is made only out of spare parts I found on ebay lol

#

haha

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

Since it's a FE titan, it looks beefy as all hell.

#

Never had a graphics card wipe drives before, but still boot, and be accessible for a minute or two.

#

It ain't a bad card, so I'll look into it and see. Very likely it has ran its course, though.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

very unlikely that a GPU chip dies. maybe hardware on the PCB can stop working but that can be replaced "easily" with soldering and googling the right replacement parts (which can get difficult without any schematics)

#

does your GPU have a dual Bios mode?

#

could try flipping the switch on it and see what it does

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

You tell me. FE Titan Black. Not a card I actually know much about

#

Don't think FE has bios switches.

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

I googled a bit but it doesn't look like there is a second vbios sadly

sick reef Apr 11, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

I'd have to try and flash it and hope it doesn't lock up.

#

MareloT

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

maybe could try without drivers and just let windows pick the default one

#

or if you have a spare hdd and time. install a windows copy on that only for the flashing but probably not worth it

#

or install the flash tool on a memory stick and boot it from the stick

#

if the gpu dies during the flashing process then it's bricked ofc

prisma citrus Apr 11, 2020, 10:46 PM

HI, I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me with some frame rate issues?

The computer I play GTFO on is not running on minimum requirements. Rather, most of the recommended requirements are met (with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 940 rather than a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970), and I have an ethernet cord plug into my computer

Despite this, I have framerates of 15 fps (18 at most), which makes it extremely difficult to get accurate shots and have smooth running gameplay. I've lowered a couple of graphics settings in game, but I haven't seen any real improvement.
Are there any specific "fixes" or adjusted I can make to help the game have better frames?

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

Minimum basically means it's somewhat playable pretty much

#

Not guaranteed 60FPS or anything

prisma citrus Apr 11, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

So, despite my computer running at or above recommended requirements, I most likely can't even get it above 20 fps?

vapid crypt Apr 11, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

I'm not even sure if a 940 is on par with min spec

#

I mean it might be, but the low end cards aren't usually the greatest

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

You probably could, expected to have more optimization at some point anyway

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

tell us your cpu

#

is the 940 a mobile only gpu?

vapid crypt Apr 11, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

Couldn't say, could be an OEM only card

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 10:56 PM

it's a mobile only pretty sue

That's a dual core i7

brisk badger Apr 11, 2020, 10:57 PM

an nvidia 660 is min required

#

which beats an nvidia 940 probably by quite some FPS

prisma citrus Apr 11, 2020, 10:58 PM

idk, it's the only page I found by a quick research that shows somewhat an comparison

vapid crypt Apr 11, 2020, 11:00 PM

It doesn't tell you actual performance, just how it benchmarks on their program

fleet canopy Apr 11, 2020, 11:00 PM

True

#

But I keep hearing it's lying about Intel vs AMD CPUs

vapid crypt Apr 11, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

Well sort of, they changed how the percentage is calculated

#

So they weigh 4 core and lower performance higher than higher core

prisma citrus Apr 11, 2020, 11:03 PM

I don't understand a lot of the tech talk... I'm just trying to find a way to make it slightly easier to play...

Quick question. 73c under full load is okay?

#

As long as it doesn't reach 80c+ right?

narrow moon Apr 12, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

Most CPU and GPU limits are between 85-95c limits. At 73 you're fine, but consider increasing your cooling efficiency.

sick reef Apr 12, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

73 under full load is high, but if that's the thermal max, then it should be fine. Be careful not to have bad circulation in your room.

vapid crypt Apr 12, 2020, 11:38 AM

Hey! My first time here in this channel
I am actually in a pretty weird situation so I needed you guys advice on what to do
"I was working on my pc when suddenly electricity went out and my pc turned off
Without saving anything as I expected
But when I try to turn it on now
It's just showing me a bsod with a error called : 'Critical process Died' and I test everything including ram, psu check as well as doing an automatic repair but apparently nothing seems to work.
Even when I try reset this pc it just states that an error occurred.
If you guys have any previous experience with this sort of case plz give advice on how I can I fix it
Thanks in advance"

Can you try booting into windows safe mode?

#

it should automatically try entering safe mode after 3 failed normal boots

#

else you can shut the power when you see the windows logo

#

if you manage to load into safe mode, open the terminal (Win + R key -> type cmd) and type sfc /scannow. will take a while

#

should see this window before entering safe mode:
https://www.digitalcitizen.life/sites/default/files/gdrive/win10_safe_mode/win10_safe_mode_13.png

Press Troubleshoot -> "see more recovery options" -> "startup settings" -> "enable safe mode with networking"

reinstalling windows should not delete your files

i also recommend to reinstall windows if it even crashes in safe mode

you could do the sfc /command before the safe boot though to try but not sure if it can help

ornate ginkgo Apr 12, 2020, 12:57 PM

@brisk badger he should do a clean installation anyways. If anything is colliding with windows at this point, it's faster if any other problem occurs.

i don't understand people who say "can i ask a question?" first of all, you just did, second of all, if you had just asked the next response would have been the (possible) answer instead of someone needing to ask what the problem is.

You can straight up ask a question while including a greeting.
You're still polite and keeping your dumb morals intact while not wasting time for no reason.

#

When talking about a question in a public channel, if you actually asked the question it's also more likely that someone who's just switching between channels will respond.

#

While they wouldn't have responded to your meaningless message

#

https://dontasktoask.com http://nohello.com

#

good websites

#

It's not a communication issue on our side, it's an issue on your side for not realising that communications face to face or online are different.

vocal canopy Apr 13, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

@lilac geyser @ornate ginkgo unrelated to the topic of PC builds, but regarding the asking permission to ask a question, some servers have dedicated question asking channels but are locked behind tags you cant get automatically, and that way you dont get kicked or banned instantly for asking a question in the general chat

sick reef Apr 13, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

It's not a problem. If they want to ask first, they can.

#

If they don't return, that's their problem.

#

If they get agitated they don't get a response, which in this case they did get a response, that's their problem.

#

But they don't have to ask the question instantly

#

And it shouldn't be demanded/required of them.

finite violet Apr 13, 2020, 9:07 AM

There's a lot of things you don't "have" to do.

Yeah, no. Arbitrary rules on random people are in most cases not my jam. Don't want to have structure outsiders won't inherenty know almost only as a basis to demean or correct.

I'm not trying to make a rule, I'm not going to send you to hell for not following the above. I'm not expecting people to follow the above by default either.

sick reef Apr 13, 2020, 9:12 AM

If they didn't return to even see if anyone has answered, do you think they'd return to read about a social norm they probably had not even considered they had broken?

I was providing more information towards lavars that saw it as a "polite" thing, I'd like to think my message provided information useful to him.

#

And was also commenting on what cheese said, referencing that we're autistic and don't know how to communicate

#

I don't know why you're unable to see all of this...

#

I'm very certain at least one person can gain some knowledge out of it

sick reef Apr 13, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

I see it as quite useless as the only reason there is a need to continue it is because other people annoy themselves over it, and if they do, that's their problem, not yours.
Not saying it is a completely bad thing, the norm itself, but correcting your own behaviour because specifc people dislike it is a futile cause of trying to the square into the triangle hole.

finite violet Apr 13, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

The point isn't correcting your behaviour because others dislike it. As mentioned, it's beneficial (more efficient, not a like/dislike thing) to both parties.

I'll stop discussing this as it's pretty borderline off-topic

Is it telling you that you cannot play it?

#

And have you played it before Lavars?

#

More likely it’s the most recent update that fixed not playing MW because I had same problem too, I updated drivers and it was fully fixed

Apparently something something drivers were sort of fucked that MW wouldn’t have been able to run without an update

i have a notebook with AMD Radeon A8 Apu 6410 HD

#

2 Ghz

#

and 8 of Ram

#

i currently run windows 8.1

#

the question is if Windows 10 right now is better in performance than 8.1

solemn orchid Apr 13, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

hm

#

probably

#

windows 10 is currently more supported

#

and I've never had any performance related issues

dusky pumice Apr 13, 2020, 1:50 PM

also there isnt support for drivers anymore in windows 8.1

for my graphics

solemn orchid Apr 13, 2020, 1:51 PM

ah, true

iirc AMD dropped it a little while ago

dusky pumice Apr 13, 2020, 1:51 PM

my drivers are outdated from 4 years ago

solemn orchid Apr 13, 2020, 1:51 PM

well you can certainly update further than that

maybe not to the most recent version

#

i currently run games like resident evil 2 remake, although kinda slow

in lowest settings but maybe was cause of the outdated drivers

maybe i can play much better right now with all that 😄

I am kind of curious

How much would a full server cost you?

i don't what you plan doing on a server

abstract kite Apr 13, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

What?

#

🤔

brisk badger Apr 13, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

what the server is used for. you can make a server for 20 dollar

#

you can make a server for 20'000 dollar

fleet canopy Apr 13, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

Maybe like an estimated price of buying a whole server, you mean?

abstract kite Apr 13, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

Yes

brisk badger Apr 13, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

well people usually buy server after they found out what they are going to do with it

#

if you buy a server for 2000 dollar then put one website on it where you get 10 people visiting the page every month, it's wasted money

vapid crypt Apr 13, 2020, 7:50 PM

Don't need to spend a ton if you just want to put together a minecraft server for you and your buddies phaWesker

you can turn your pc into a server if you want

#

XD

brisk badger Apr 13, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

you laugh. most people who own servers do not need more than a PI as server

#

I use a pi myself for as server for some stuff. perfectly fine if you know what it can handle and what you want to serve

#

if you plan on hosting a minecraft server on a pi then yea that will not be fun

abstract kite Apr 13, 2020, 7:53 PM

That is actually looks nice though.

brisk badger Apr 13, 2020, 7:53 PM

brisk badger Apr 13, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

it's not a "real server" because you most likely will turn off your pc at one point

#

but it function as a server

lilac geyser Apr 13, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

you can get a VPS for really cheap, $5 or even less if you hunt

#

its essentially a virtulized instance of an operating system running on a normal "server"

#

so you are renting part of a server

#

server owner could have dozens of VPSs running on one server

#

its the way to go if you just want to start messing with a webserver, running your own VPN, or other simple service

so if i have a laptop with intel core i5-6200U(2.3GHz) with turbo boost up to 2.8GHz, and it has a GeForce 940MX with 2GB dedicated VRAM. how should i adjust my current settings to get better performance in game? i want to try to improve my frame rate so i don't have that frame stuttering that sometimes happens(it makes it really hard to aim and hit the sleepers heads during firefights), but i also don't want to sacrifice graphical quality too the point that it looks like I'm fighting undefined blobs with a undefined blob gun in a environment populated with undefined blob props XD.
here are some pics of my current game video settings:

Well a Laptop with that CPU, alongside the GPU is okay. I don't think you can really push it much more without spending money. You "Could" try to Cull for your GPU or CPU to pull more performance, but I doubt it will help much in this case.

at this point it needs a clarification by the dev team since many are just outputting something like: "It’s telling the cpu to do more than the gpu"

so considering the information provided alittle bit further up would i want to adjust my setting?

brisk badger Apr 14, 2020, 12:06 PM

@normal plinth (hey btw old friend, totally failed to recognize you 😛 )
if you your CPU is more powerful than your GPU set it either to large or extreme, if your GPU is beefier, then set it to low/medium

#

I do not confirm this, just saying what everyone else says

fleet canopy Apr 14, 2020, 12:36 PM

@viscid pawn that’s a pretty good selection, I wonder how much it would cost you if you were to change to the ryzen 3600 with 2x8GB DDR4-3600MHz RAM though
